• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Found what the problem is. Downloaded the FS9 version and saw that the normal scale. So, FSX model of polygon is double scale. Can I reduce the scale and then converted it?
 
Hi,

Not sure what you mean. MCX loads a FS2004 and FSX model in the same way and it sees the coordinates in there as meters.

From which format did you import your polygons?
 
This is UKDD(Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine) scenery from here: http://vacc-ua.aero/?page_id=87&lang=en ; Ground polygons files is grd3.bgl(FSX) and grd.bgl(FS9); My import format is meters. So, I loading grd3.bgl from MCX ground polygon wizard then convert and see as screen in my post above. Well, then I loading grd.bgl(FS9 version) then convert and see very nice scale, why? I want load grd3.bgl then cut polygon light, then convert it in P3D format. I think so because polygon model from grd3.bgl has double scale. My question, can I reduce scale from MCX and then convert?
 
I assume it doesn't really matter whether you start with an FS9 or FSX BGL file, since MCX will be converting both of them to FS2002 format anyway. So use the FS9 BGL file as a starting point for both FS9 and FSX versions.
 
grd3.bgl(FSX) and grd.bgl(FS9) this files from scenerys and displayed in sim nice. But grd3.bgl from MCX displayed double scale. See screens. Why?

Which version of MCX are you using? I remember fixed a bug related to reading the scale from BGL files a while ago. Do you have the latest development release?
 
OK, then it must be something else. Don't understand what it could be yet.
